In this study, an attempt is made to assess the economic impact of climate change on Aruba. This
study has three main objectives. The first is to examine the factors that influence the demand and
supply of tourism in Aruba. The second is to forecast the cost of climate change to the tourism
sector until 2050 under the A2 and B2 climate scenarios with the Business as Usual (BAU) as a
comparator climate scenario, and the third is to estimate the cost of adaptation and mitigation
strategies that can be undertaken by Aruba to address climate change in the tourism sector.
